爱德华（伊万·麦克格雷格 Ewan McGregor 饰）生性热爱自由，成年之后，他选择离开家乡，踏上了环游世界的旅程。一路上，爱德华遇见了各种各样稀奇古怪的角色，经历了无数精彩绝伦的的冒险，而他日后最大的兴趣，就是向他人喋喋不休的重复讲述他的这一段奇幻旅程。 　　威尔（比利·克鲁德普 Billy Crudup 饰）是爱德华的儿子，他并不相信父亲所讲述的那些光怪陆离的故事，甚至对此感到无比厌烦。婚后，他同父亲中断了联系，一晃眼就是数年过去。当再次得到爱德华的消息之时，威尔才知道父亲即将不久于人世，他决定去见爱德华最后一面。然而，这一次，威尔终于发现了隐藏在这些故事背后的奥秘和真相。 When Edward Bloom (Albert Finney) becomes ill, his son, William (Billy Crudup), travels to be with him. William has a strained relationship with Edward because his father has always told exaggerated stories about his life, and William thinks he's never really told the truth. Even on his deathbed, Edward recounts fantastical anecdotes. When William, who is a journalist, starts to investigate his father's tales, he begins to understand the man and his penchant for storytelling.

INT. THE CHEVROLET - DAY Amazed, Will turns to his father.
WILL:
It’s unbelievable.
EDWARD:
Story of my life.
EXT. RIVERSIDE - DAY Will gets out of the Chevrolet, overwhelmed by the crowd.
Behind him, Sandra, Josephine and Dr. Bennett pull up. Karl comes just after that.
Crossing to the passenger side, Will lifts his father out.
Strangely, he’s gotten even lighter. Will carries him easily.
Edward pulls off his shoes, tying the laces together. He hands them to Josephine. She throws them up at thepowerline. They loop over. APPLAUSE and CHEERS.
The crowd parts to let Will and Edward get to the river. As he passes, Edward shakes some hands, pats some people on the cheek, and gives others a good poke in the ribs.
人群散开，让威尔和爱德华去河边。当爱德华经过时，他与一些人握手，拍了拍一些人的脸颊，并在其他人的肋骨上狠狠地戳了一下。
WILL (V.O.) And the strange thing is, there’s not a sad face to be found. Everyone’s just so glad to see you, and send you off right.
WILL（V.O.）奇怪的是，找不到一张悲伤的脸。每个人都很高兴见到你，马上送你走。
116.
Will walks into the river, up to his knees. He turns back so his father can face the crowd. Edward waves.
威尔走到河里，高达膝盖。他转过身来，这样他的父亲就可以面对人群了。爱德华挥手。
EDWARD:
Goodbye everybody! Farewell! Adieu!
THE CROWD (VARIOUS) Goodbye Edward! / See ya! / We’ll missyou!
But one face is missing from the crowd -- Sandra. Will turns to see she’s already standing in the river beside them.
The reflection of the light off the water gives Sandra anunearthly glow. She’s more tranquil and more beautiful thanwe’ve ever seen her.
EDWARD:
My girl in the river.
She kisses him. He tweaks her chin. The crowd HOLLERS in approval, but their moment remains strangely private. OnlyWill is there to witness.
As the kiss ends, Edward tries to pull off his wedding ring.
But it’s stuck. Finally, he sucks on it, pulling it freewith his teeth.
A look to Will, a smile with a glint of gold. Will takes the ring out of his mouth.
Edward suddenly drops out of Will’s arms with a SPLASH. For he’s no longer a man, but rather A FAT CATFISH: swimming at his feet.
We watch as the catfish circles, then heads for deeper water, disappearing.
Will and his mother stand knee-deep in the water, watchingEdward Bloom swim away into the sunlight. Josephine is backon the shore, along with the entire crowd.
MUSIC BUILDS to a climax, then... Down the river, a GIANT FISH suddenly jumps out of the water, cutting a beautiful arc across the sunset. It then dives back under with a SPLASH.
